Parameters

[edit]

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |edition=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st American edition (1915), specify |edition=US. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1915).
  • |1=, |chapter=, or |story=mandatory: the name of the short story quoted from. If quoting from one of the stories indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:
Fifty-one Tales
Parameter value Result First page number
1st edition 1st American edition
In both editions
The Assignation The Assignation page 1 page 9
The Sphinx in Thebes (Massachusetts) The Sphinx in Thebes (Massachusetts) page 78 page 100
Only in the 1st edition
The Poet Speaks with Earth The Poet Speaks with Earth page 111
Only in the 1st American edition
The Mist The Mist page 107
  • |2= or |page=, or |pages=mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
    • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
    • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).
This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.
  • |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
  • |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
  • |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
